DALLAS
Omni Hotels & Resorts has unveiled Omni Meetings University (OMU), an online meeting educational portal that provides planners with a deeper understanding of the Omni brand, as well as meetings industry and technology trends.
Through the new portal planners will receive firsthand knowledge of Omni's Convention, Resort and City Center collections. Each collection is distinct to its local market, and offers planners a variety of venues to satisfy the objectives of their different meeting or event needs.
The portal will be continuously updated based on Omni’s portfolio updates or unique meeting offerings, current industry trends and new technology available to planners. OMU will eventually be customized based on planner disciplines for corporate or association planners.
Each participant who completes the curriculum of OMU will become a certified Omni Meetings Specialist and will receive a personalized FAM trip that includes a complimentary overnight stay at any Omni property to experience the brand and underscore what they learned through OMU. New Omni Meeting Specialists will be automatically upgraded to Platinum level status in Omni’s Select Guest Loyalty Program; and will receive a 5 percent discount on their group’s Master Account for the first meeting contracted after successful completion of the course.
Lastly, the Convention Industry Council (CIC) has verified this program for one clock hour of continuing education towards CMP certification or recertification.
Omni collaborated with Encore Event Technologies to develop OMU and information is also provided for planners looking to utilize Encore’s technology to enhance their meeting or event.
